While PC parts are kinda expensive this year, some of you could be looking to get new gaming peripherals. If you're on the hunt for a high-performance gaming mouse, then the new one from Razer might be what you need. Say hi to the Razer Viper 8KHz.

As the name suggests, the Viper 8KHz is a gaming mouse that uses the Razer HyperPolling Technology. Most gaming mice have a polling rate of 1000Hz, but this one delivers an insane polling rate of 8000Hz. In other words, it can send data to the PC 8 times faster. This results in better responsiveness and eliminates potential micro stutters.

If that's not enough, then you would be glad to know that it also has the 2nd-gen Razer optical mouse switch. The mouse switches deliver greater tactile feedback, lower click latency, and amazing durability with up to 70 million clicks. Then there's also the Razer Focus+ Optical Sensor, which offers automatic surface calibration and superior tracking precision.

The Razer Viper 8KHz will retail in Malaysia for RM399, but it's not quite available yet and we're not sure when it will be. Having said that, would you be interested in getting this gaming mouse? Let us know in the comments below and stay tuned to TechNave for more news on gadgets like this.
